Hello, friends. I enjoyed a rather rainy but still very beautiful Camino from Porto to Santiago from late September to early October this year. I have posted some of my photos if anyone cares to have a look. Buen Camino!

Monday 16 Sep: train leaving Bayonne at 8:52 cancelled
Tuesday 17 Sep: no...
Same thing just happened to me on 8/20, and they got a bus for everyone in Bayonne to SJPDP. I went from panicked to at ease surprisingly quickly. I think it happens regularly.
